Description

Our sterling silver Unity Ring features two intertwined budding vines sculpted from real-life twigs.

“Those that truly love have roots that grow towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossoms have fallen from their branches, they find that they are one tree and not two.”

In Old Norse Literature, Askr ok Embla, or Ask and Embla were two trees that later became the ancestors of all humankind after three Norse gods breathed life, sense, and motive into them. It is believed that Ask was an Ash tree and Embla was either an Elm or Vine. 

Our Unity Ring is an homage to this storied myth. As Ask and Embla reached for the other in both their varietal and corporal forms, so do the sprigs of the Unity Ring. Sterling Silver has long symbolized compassion and empathy while the overlapping vine has been oxidized for visual contrast and a gentle yet demanding reminder of strength. 

 

UNITY COLLECTION

The Unity Collection is crafted from two vines that are wrapped around each other to form a single band, symbolizing the strength and beauty of two lives intertwined.

This design is inspired by the mythological tale of Askr and Embla, the first human couple in Norse mythology. According to the story, Askr and Embla were created by the gods from two trees, an ash and an elm, and were brought to life to start the human race. Similarly, the Unity rings bring two individual lives together to form a united bond, just as Askr and Embla were united by the gods to create the human race.

The intricate design of the vines also holds a deeper meaning, representing the twists and turns of life's journey. Just as vines grow and interweave with one another to form a beautiful pattern, our lives are intertwined with the people we love, forming a unique and intricate bond that can never be broken.

Width 4mm (front) - 2mm (back)
Thickness 1.5-2mm

This ring is naturally hand-oxidized to create the two-tone appearance. Over time, the oxidation will wear away from the surface of the ring and remain in the grooves of the twig only. This is a completely natural process for silver and should not be considered a defect. The wear of the oxidation depends on each individual's natural body chemistry as well as how often you wear the ring. Wearing it in the shower, washing dishes, etc. will cause the oxidation to fade away faster.

Handcrafted in the USA from 100% recycled silver.

    Olivia was great to work with. She was very responsive over email when I had questions about the rings and materials. I just received my ring a week or two ago and it is beautiful!

    I also loved the wrapping of it, and the tiny box it came in. Gorgeous. I strongly recommend buying one.
